McLaughlin Grants a Double
![[user66118]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
From the button, Jeremy McLaughlin opened with a raise, and the small blind flat-called. In the big, though, the short-stacked gentleman looked down at 
and squeezed all in for another 51,500 on top. That sent McLaughlin into the tank for a good while, but he eventually dropped the calling chips into the pot, and the small blind ducked out of the way. When the cards were turned up, McLaughlin saw the bad news that his 
was dominated.
"Maybe we'll chop," he hoped aloud.
The 
flop made a split pot a possibility, but that's all the closer McLaughlin would get. The turn 
and river 
were blanks, and the big blind has found his double.
McLaughlin has slipped back to about 160,000 with that loss.
